A parolee was shot in the arm early Monday in Oxnard by police officers who had responded to a reported disturbance, officials said.

The man was not seriously hurt, and no officers were injured in the incident that occurred about 3 a.m. in the 1900 block of North H Street, police said.

Officers were responding to reports of a domestic disturbance when they found Bobby Oscar Basquez alone in the courtyard of an apartment complex, officials said. The disturbance involved an argument between a man and a woman, but it was not a domestic dispute, police later learned.

Officers fired several shots after Basquez, 25, of Oxnard ignored commands to show his hands, police said. One of the bullets struck Basquez in the arm, Oxnard police Cmdr. Mike Adair said.

Police said a gun was found at the scene, but they did not say whether Basquez was armed.

Police spokeswoman Mónica Muñoz said details were not being released because the investigation was not complete.

Residents of the Del Ciervo apartment complex said they heard at least three gunshots. Sylvia Bohol, 46, said she then saw police pointing guns at a man and repeating, "Don't move."

A portion of the complex was cordoned off with police tape Monday morning while officers collected evidence and documented the scene.

Basquez was treated at Ventura County Medical Center, then booked into county jail on suspicion of a parole violation, jail records show. He was not eligible for bail.

Basquez was released from prison in May, police said. He has been convicted 13 times in Ventura County since 2004, court records show. He has felony convictions for drug possession, evading arrest, possession of a deadly weapon and resisting arrest, court records show.

Officials on Monday did not release the names of police involved in the shooting.
